Hi DJMAC
The crossover will only be optimum with the MDT30, though there is no harm in trying the Scanspeak unit, especially if it is interchangable with the Morel (sizewise).
Crossover components are available at Wilmslow Audio simply. There are many other outlets in the UK.

Nice cabs. Well done so far.

DJMAC said:Thanks dublin, I dont no much about crossovers and I couldint afford the morel tweeters so managed to get the scanspeak units second hand, I would like to modifiy the crossover to match the scanspeak tweeters but I wouldint no where to start.
I use the hard dome tweeters from Maplin at £4-99 in my disco.
I use 6 in series to get the power handling I need.
These tweeters dont need a crossover.
I would stick the Scans on Ebay, or sell here (Trading Post), you will probably get £50 for them (half price).
A new set of Morels will set you back £75.
For the sake of £30 you will have a proven design and will save yourself a lot of time. You could easily blow £30 by changing XO components over until you find the correct values (which you may never manage).
As I said before, there is no harm in trying the Scans with the crossover that is published, now that you have them.

Thanks dublin, I didint relise I would have to try out possibily lots of different crossover parts, I thought it would be more straight forward than that. I think I might have to use the scanspeak because I'v already cut the holes and the morel is 2mm bigger, Your right should of stuck to the morel for the sake of a few quid.
Hello DJMAC
Yes you are correct - It is difficult to make a neat job of widening the recess for flush mounting.
If you have to, you can. You should make a jig (a hole of the correct size) with another piece of wood and clamp it over; then you can either sand/file up to the jig (at the correct depth), or use the router again with a roller bit (see below) which is more expense, or do the same thing very carefully with a normal bit (still using the jig).
